CLEVELAND - The Bengals' 23-20 loss Sunday against the Cleveland Browns not only kept them from gaining a share of the AFC North lead with Baltimore and Pittsburgh but it also hurt in terms of injuries.

Starting cornerback Johnathan Joseph (forearm), safety Roy Williams (knee) and slot receiver Jordan Shipley (concussion) all left the game and failed to return.
